Diablo 2 WILL NOT come out this year. I will be in complete shock if it does.

But if you are speculating on release dates, how can you mention Guild Wars 2? The game speaks for itself so I don't need to list reasons why.

I do want to hear more about Neverwinter though and I'm glad it was mentioned. I have no idea how it will turn out since it's being developed by Cryptic and all, and it's not a traditional MMO, but everything I've read from it makes it seem like it can be an extremely dark and immersive co-op RPG, just what I am looking for. I really hope they don't screw it up, it has a lot of potential from the descriptions I've read of it. I doubt it'll come out this year though since it was just announced, and if it does it'll probably lack content and they'll expect players to make up the bulk of it for them which is weird, especially if they are going to be charging a monthly fee for it, but we'll see what happens.

There was an internal leak stating that Diablo III would be released by the end of 2011. This makes sense as StarCraft II isn't due for its next iteration until 2012; besides, the game has been in development for quite a while already!

"Internal leak"? I can go online and say I work for Blizzard and I found out that the game will be coming out by the end of 2011! It's speculation based on a rumor that anyone could start. It's Blizzard and you are telling me that even though the game is almost a year away still that they know exactly when it'll come out and that it wont be delayed? They have no idea when the release date is, I assure you. The game is far from being done by Blizzard's standards. They are not even done creating classes and content yet, let alone taking a year or more after that to polish the game. The StarCraft II "expansion" release date has nothing to do with the release date of Diablo 3. If you'll recall, StarCraft II came out only months before Cataclysm. It means nothing.

You can, but I'm still willing to bet it'll be out before the year is through. Yes, I understand that StarCraft II and World of Warcraft both have different teams working on them, but I'm thinking the leak (whether legitimate or not) will prove true as Diablo III will be a big Blizzard launch for 2011.

Well I have to agree that Guild Wars 2 deserves a definite spot on that list. The first GW was fun. But GW2 looks plain amazing... certainly the one MMORPG I'm looking forward to getting sucked into, and the first in more than a couple years.

I think D3 will release this year, though. I won't be stunned if it gets pushed back to 2012 but I think now that SC2 released they probably have been putting more attention into finishing Diablo.

Actually, it was to put a viable FPS on the list that wasn't multiplatform. I honestly think that is a great choice... plus, it's free! As if the vast majority of PC Battlefield lovers won't at least try it at that price.

There is no such thing as a PC exclusive. It's an open platform with no "first party" devs so stop spreading this bullshit. Exclusives belong in the realm of the consoles and their corresponding fanboys only.

It goes beyond that. There is a huge difference between a PC exclusive and a console exclusive. A PC exclusive like say Starcraft or Diablo is by choice and design of the devs. Blizzard own the IP and can make the transition to any platform they see fit.

A console exclusive like Uncharted and Killzone on the other hand is contractual, Sony subsidized the first party devs to create those games and they own IPs...which is a true exclusive in every sense of the word.

What you're trying to say Fanboi, is PC has no "First Party Exclusives", which is correct, like you said it is an open platform.

Games not published, on PS3, by Sony are free to move to any platform the publisher pleases, such as Shatter(a once PS3 "exclusive"). However it is uncommon for many games due PS3's architectural differences.

First of all, they have absolutely no other games planned for 2011. I mean, next starcraft 2 expansion is supposed to come out after Diablo III and in 2012. Plus, new unnanounced titles won't come out in 2011 either. They have to release at least something and Diablo 3 is the only choice.

Second of all, they announced Diablo III one year after starcraft 2, so it should logically come out one year after.
